Ancylolomia orchidea Bleszynski, 1970 Figs. 33, 93, 151. Ancylolomia orchidea Bleszynski, 1970: 35, figs. 11, 15. Type locality: Philippines, Luzon, Benguet, Baguio, 5000’ MATERIAL Specimen examined: 2 ♂ (detailed information in Table S1; https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.b8gtht7mh). SIMILAR SPECIES Ancylolomia westwoodi Zeller, 1863. DIAGNOSIS In male genitalia (Fig. 93), the following characters separate this species from the widespread A. westwoodi: the prominent thorn-like projections at midlength of uncus dorsum reach 2/3 of the uncus length and show no dorsal bump, while the projection is slightly less than half the uncus length and shows a marked dorsal bump in the form of A. westwoodi found in the Philippines. Furthermore, the saccus anterior margin is conspicuously incurved, while it is straight or slightly rounded in A. westwoodi specimens from the Philippines. In female genitalia (Fig. 151), A. orchidea lacks the bag-shaped sclerites and the interspersed sclerotization on the antrum (Bleszynski, 1970b). DISTRIBUTION PHILIPPINES: Luzon (Cordillera central), Panay (Iloilo). Collected at altitudes between 400 and 2000 m. DNA BARCODING The species delimitation analysis recovered two MOTUs, one for the specimen from North Luzon and one for the specimen from Panay. A p-distance of 6.9% is observed between samples MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL07-F08 (Panay) and MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL08-D12 (Luzon, Ifugao).
